Default Does How a (Sailplane) Pilot Thinks, Matter?

How this sailplane pilot thinks is:

In aviation, the convenient and the unnecessary are invitations to an accident.

A poster above the urinal at Black Forest Soaring Society was this poster: http://www.check-six.com/lib/Poster_Crash.htm

"Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect."

Keep this in mind and take baby steps to expand your boundaries and you can become an old and (to the uninitiated) bold pilot.

I posted that same quotation a while back. The first time I saw it was
in a weather shack in Windy Pass which runs through the Alaska Range.
It was a dark and stormy night... No! Really, it was, and I was in a
C-172, it was about 0200, and, though I was a studly AF jet pilot, I had
absolutely zero instrument time in a light plane. Prudence told me not
to mess with the thunderstorm blocking the pass and the mountains on
either side of the pass were above my service ceiling. I landed on a
gravel strip and spent the rest of the night in the weather shack
drinking coffee and eating pop corn.
